FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the input pad 200 according to anembodiment, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the input pad 200along line I-I′ of FIG. 3. It is noted that FIGS. 3-4 illustrate anenlarged view of the encircled input pad 200 in FIG. 1.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, a plurality of input pads 200 are disposed atan edge of the substrate 100 to be separated from each other by apredetermined distance. One end of each of the input pads 200 isconnected to the scanning driving unit 130 or the data driving unit 140through wirings 119. The other end of each of the input pads 200 isconnected to a circuit board 300 (FIG. 5) that is provided from theoutside.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, each input pad 200 includes an extensionportion 200 a that extends from the wirings 119 connected to thescanning driving unit 130 or the data driving unit 140, a connectionportion 200 b separated from the extension portion 200 a by apredetermined distance and connected to the circuit board 300, aresistance portion 210 having one side contacting the extension portion200 a and the other side contacting the connection portion 200 b, adummy portion 220 formed in a first region R1 of the resistance portion210 and having one side insulated from the extension portion 200 a andthe other side contacting the connection portion 200 b, and aninsulating layer 230 formed in a second region R2 of the resistanceportion 210.

Referring to FIG. 4, the resistance portion 210 is formed on thesubstrate 100 by using doped polysilicon to have a predeterminedresistance value. The resistance portion 210 may be formed of the samematerial as the material used to form the semiconductor layer 102illustrated in FIG. 2.

The dummy portion 220 is formed on, e.g., only on, the first region R1of the resistance portion 210 by using metal to have a relatively largerelectrical conductivity than that of the resistance portion 210. Thedummy portion 220 may be formed of the same material as the materialused to form the source and drain electrodes 106 a and 106 b, the gateelectrode 104, the pixel electrode 108, or the opposite electrode 111illustrated in FIG. 2. The first region R1 of the resistance portion 210refers to a central region that does not include a first edge portion L1on a top surface of the resistance portion 210 and a second edge portionL2 disposed at a position opposite to the first edge portion L1. Thesecond region R2 of the resistance portion 210 refers to other regionsexcept for the first region R1 on the top surface of the resistanceportion 210, which means upper and lower edge regions of FIG. 3, i.e.,portions including the first edge portion L1 and the second edge portionL2 of the resistance portion 210.

The insulating layer 230 is formed on an upper portion of the dummyportion 220, e.g., to completely cover the dummy portion 220, and in thesecond region R2 of the resistance portion 210 that is not covered bythe dummy portion 220 and is exposed to the outside. The insulatinglayer 230 may be formed of the same material as the material used toform the gate insulating layer 103 and/or the material used to form theinterlayer insulating layer 105 of FIG. 2. First contact holes CT1,second contact holes CT2, and third contact holes CT3 are formed in theinsulating layer 230.

The first contact holes CT1 are formed in the insulating layer 230 in aregion corresponds to the first edge portion L1 of the resistanceportion 210. The first contact holes CT1 expose the first edge portionL1 of the resistance portion 210, e.g., a portion of an upper surface ofthe resistance portion 210. The second contact holes CT2 are formed inthe insulating layer 230 in a region that corresponds to the second edgeportion L2 of the resistance portion 210, so the second edge portion L2of the resistance portion 210 is exposed through the second contactholes CT2. The third contact holes CT3 are formed between the firstcontact holes CT1 and the second contact holes CT2, i.e., the thirdcontact holes CT3 are formed in the insulating layer 230 in a regionthat corresponds to the first region R1 adjacent to the second edgeportion L2 of the resistance portion 210, so a portion of the firstregion R1 of the resistance portion 210 is exposed. That is, the thirdholes CT3 are formed to expose an edge of the dummy portion 220 in thefirst region R1.

A plurality of first contact holes CT1, a plurality of second contactholes CT2, and a plurality of third contact holes CT3 may be formed.Referring to FIG. 3, the plurality of first contact holes CT1 may bedisposed in rows along a direction in which the first edge portion L1extends. Also, the plurality of second contact holes CT2 and theplurality of third contact holes CT3 may be disposed in rows along adirection in which the first edge portion L1 extends. In FIG. 3, fivefirst contact holes CT1, five second contact holes CT2, and five thirdcontact holes CT3 are disposed in a row. However, example embodimentsare not limited thereto. Any suitable number of contact holes may beformed, so a plurality of first contact holes CT1, a plurality of secondcontact holes CT2, and/or a plurality of third contact holes CT3 may bedisposed in two or more rows.

The extension portion 200 a and the connection portion 200 b areconnected to both end portions (first edge portion L1 and second edgeportion L2) of the resistance portion 210 through the first contactholes CT1 and the second contact holes CT2 formed in the insulatinglayer 230. The extension portion 200 a contacts the first edge portionL1 of the resistance portion 210 exposed through the first contact holesCT1. The connection portion 200 b contacts the second edge portion L2 ofthe resistance portion 210 exposed through the second contact holes CT2and contacts a portion of the dummy portion 220 exposed through thethird contact holes CT3. The connection portion 200 b contacts an edgeof the dummy portion 220 that is exposed by the third holes CT3 andoverlaps the connection portion 200 b. It is noted that a first end 220a of the dummy portion 220 overlaps the extension portion 200 a, and asecond end 220 b of the dummy portion 220, i.e., an end opposite thefirst end, overlaps the connection portion 200 b. While the second end220 b of the dummy portion 220 contacts, e.g., directly contacts, theconnection portion 200 b, the first end 220 a of the dummy portion 220is insulated from the extension portion 200 a by the insulating layer230.

As example embodiments include a plurality of first through thirdcontact holes CT1 through CT3, a number of contacts between theextension portion 200 a and the resistance portion 210 and/or betweenthe connection portion 200 b and the dummy portion 220 is large. Whenthe number of contacts increases, static electricity flows in theresistance portion 210 and the dummy portion 220 through the extensionportion 200 a or the connection portion 200 b.

Also, the extension portion 200 a of the input pad 200 has a largerwidth than that of the wirings 119 and a larger area than that of thewirings 119 (see FIG. 5). Thus, even when a portion of staticelectricity that flows in the dummy portion 220 flows in the extensionportion 200 a, the static electricity is discharged at the extensionportion 200 a having a larger width and does not continue to flow in thewirings 119.

In the organic light-emitting display device, the input pad 200 isdisposed at an edge of the substrate 100, so static electricity easilyflows in the input pad 200. However, the input pad 200 according toexample embodiments may prevent the static electricity from flowing inthe driving unit, the pixel area 114, and the circuit board 300 of theorganic light-emitting display device, thereby preventing damagethereto. In detail, since the input pad 200 includes the dummy portion220 on the resistance portion 210, damage to the resistance portion 210may be prevented even when an excessive amount of static electricityflows in the input pad 200. In other words, when an excessive amount ofstatic electricity flows in the input pad 200, the static electricity isdivided and flows in two places, i.e., the resistance portion 210 andthe dummy portion 220 formed on the resistance portion 210. In otherwords, even when a total amount of static electricity through the inputpad 200 is excessive, a total amount of static electricity through eachof the resistance portion 210 and dummy portion 220 is lower than thetotal amount through the entire input pad 200. Therefore, as the amountof static electricity through the resistance portion 210 is lowered,i.e., not excessive, the resistance portion 210 is not burnt or does notcause a short circuit.

In contrast, if a dummy portion 220 is not formed on the resistanceportion 210, an excessive amount of static electricity in the input pad200 may flow through the resistance portion 210, thereby, e.g.,instantaneously, increasing current through the input pad 200 andcausing a short circuit or malfunction, e.g., the resistance portion 210having a relatively lower rigidity, compared to metal, may be burnt orcause a short circuit. Therefore, static electricity that flows in thedummy portion 220 according to example embodiments is discharged at thedummy portion 220 or is transferred to the extension portion 220 a.Static electricity transferred to the extension portion 200 a isdischarged at the extension portion 200 a having a large area incomparison to that of a related art input pad, so that staticelectricity can be prevented from flowing in various types of drivingunits, the pixel area 114, and the circuit board 300 of the organiclight-emitting display device.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a case where the circuit board 300disposed outside the input pad 200 is connected to the input pad 200according to an embodiment. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken alongline II-II′ of FIG. 5.

In FIGS. 5 and 6, a pad 310 of the circuit board 300 is connected to theconnection portion 200 b of the input pad 200. The circuit board 300 isa flexible printed circuit (FPC) board having the form of a film.Various types of signals are supplied to the input pad 200 from thecircuit board 300. For example, the various types of signals may bedriving control signals for driving the scanning driving unit 130 andthe data driving unit 140, power for driving, and the like.

When various types of signals are applied to the scanning driving unit130 and the data driving unit 140 from the circuit board 300 through theinput pad 200, the scanning driving unit 130 and the data driving unit140 apply scanning signals and data signals to the pixel area 114. Inthe pixel area 114, an organic light-emitting diode of the pixel 120selected in response to the scanning signals emits light.

Referring to FIG. 5, the extension portion 200 a of the input pad 200extends from the wirings 119. Also, the width of the extension portion200 a of the input pad 200 may be larger than that of the wirings 119.Thus, even when some static electricity that flows in the dummy portion220 flows in the extension portion 200 a, the static electricity isdischarged at the extension portion 200 a having a large area, e.g., incomparison to conventional input pads, and does not continue to flow inthe wirings 119. It is noted that the widths of the extension portion200 a and the wirings 119 is measured along the first direction, i.e., adirection parallel to a virtual line connecting a plurality of firstcontact holes CT1, substantially perpendicular to the second direction,i.e., a direction parallel to a virtual line connecting the wiring 119and the pad 310.

The input pad 200 may effectively prevent static electricity fromflowing in the scanning driving unit 130 and the data driving unit 140from the circuit board 300 through the input pad 200 when the circuitboard 300 is not connected to the input pad 200, i.e., by forming theresistance portion 210 and the dummy portion 220 as illustrated in FIGS.3 and 4. Also, the input pad 200 may effectively prevent staticelectricity from flowing in the scanning driving unit 130 and the datadriving unit 140 from the circuit board 300 through the input pad 200when the circuit board 300 is connected to the input pad 200, i.e., byforming the resistance portion 210 and the dummy portion 220 asillustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. Thus, the flow of high current due tostatic electricity is prevented, and only a valid signal, e.g., adriving control signal, is supplied to the organic light-emittingdisplay device so that a driving circuit and the organic light-emittingdiode may be safely protected.

As described above, the resistance portion 210 and the dummy portion 220may be formed for all of the input pads 200 or some of the input pads200. Also, the input pad 200 may be used in the organic light-emittingdisplay device or in various display devices, e.g., a liquid crystaldisplay (LCD) device, a plasma display device, an electrophoresisdisplay device, and the like.

According to example embodiments described above, a resistance portionand a dummy portion are formed in an input pad of an organiclight-emitting display device. Therefore, the flow of an overcurrentcaused by static electricity flowing through a substrate or a circuitboard that is provided from the outside may be prevented orsubstantially minimized. Specifically, the resistance portion has oneside contacting an extension portion and the other side contacting aconnection portion separated from the extension portion by apredetermined distance, and the dummy portion is formed on theresistance portion and contacting the connection portion. Therefore,static electricity may be effectively divided between the resistanceportion and the dummy portion, and the static electricity flowingthrough the dummy portion may be effectively discharged and preventedfrom flowing in the substrate or the circuit board.

As such, the input pad, i.e., the resistance portion, is prevented fromcausing a short circuit or being burnt due to excessive staticelectricity. That is, according to example embodiments, when anexcessive amount of static electricity flows in the input pad, theresistance portion having relatively lower rigidity compared to metalmay be prevented from being burnt or from causing a short circuit bydiverting a portion of the static electricity via the dummy portion. Assuch, static electricity may be more effectively controlled.

In contrast, when excessive static electricity flows in a conventionaldisplay device, i.e., an organic light-emitting diode, or a drivingcircuit that operates at a low voltage and at a high speed, malfunctionsmay occur in the organic light-emitting diode or the driving circuit, orthe organic light-emitting diode or the driving circuit may be damageddue to an electrical effect. That is, when static electricity generatedoutside the driving circuit flows in the driving circuit through awiring installed inside the organic light-emitting display device, anoperation of the driving circuit may stop momentarily. When a number ofoccurrences of static electricity or voltage increases, a circuit wiringmay be disconnected or an electrical short circuit may occur. Damage bystatic electricity may become more severe as the driving circuit isgradually highly integrated (as the size of the driving circuit isreduced).
